This is a complete list of Detective Comics from the Silver Age Part 2 (New Look): 1964-1969 (with GEMs highlighted). The list includes links for the following: (a) Wiki page (from the Grand Comics Database, or GCD), (b) e-book (available upon request), and (c) More info on each comic (via optional posts by various contributors).
Please note that the list is sortable by each column. (Multiple levels of sorting are possible by sorting more than one column in succession, from lowest to highest.) You can also do an instant filtering of the table by entering a character string in the ‘Search’ field.
During the second part of the Silver Age, most issues of Detective Comics had a dual feature: a Batman story followed by backup story of another character. Until the final year of the Silver Age (1969), the backup stories featured the Elongated Man, one of the only DC super-heroes who was married and did not have a secret identity. (These stories can be found in the Other DC Super-Heroes section of this website.)
Along with Carmine Infantino (who drew most of the covers), the predominant artist for the Batman stories during much of this period was Sheldon Moldoff, though he never received credit because he was a ghost-artist for Bob Kane, who always made it a point to sign all the stories. However, the comics world has retroactively attributed these stories to the real artist, and I have done so on my lists as well. Towards the end of this period, the artwork on Detective was taken over by Bob Brown working in collaboration with inker Joe Giella.
